    Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

    Hi, last March we stayed at CBR and had a room in Martinique and when I walked down to the beach area for our building you could see some of the illuminations fireworks. If you would be closer to the main pool/central hub area you should be able to see it really well.

    Free dining for 2013??

    Does anybody have any inside information or rumors of free dining for Feb-March 2013? We are ready to reserve our trip but I really want to make sure we get free dining again. I saw the recently released free dining that only goes up to Dec. 2012 so far... so close. I'm hoping by mid august they...

    CBR best location advice with kids!!

    Thanks for the tip. I would like to get as close to the main pool and town center as possible. What was the issue with the online check in? I have not really heard if its worth it to use or not except that you can make room requests with it.

    When you've taken your kids to WDW before going to certain local/regional parks first

    I agree with you on this subject. I also live very close to Hershey and hershey is more geared towards older children, I would say 10 and up where when you have younger children as I do also, you have to take advantage of any Disney trip chance you get. Since we live so far from disney it seems...

    How to surprise 3 little girls with wdw trip!?

    I think the scavenger hunt would work ok for your age ranges. Of course with a little guidance it should go well. Last year my girls were just turned 6, 4, and almost 2 so we decided to just get a blank disney card from hallmark and put a message inside from mickey and minnie telling them they...

    Road-Trip to DISNEY WITH KIDS!!!

    That sounds like a pretty good game plan, it's all about timing and keeping the kids occupied when boredom starts to set in. Thanks for the advice!

    Road-Trip to DISNEY WITH KIDS!!!

    Not sure how close to Myrtle Beach, it's all straight 95 pretty much. VA beach might not be a bad idea or right around Hampton/Norfolk. It's funny to hear about SOTB , I have never heard anything good about it. Thanks for all the feedback.

    Road-Trip to DISNEY WITH KIDS!!!

    I'm starting to think about staying over a night on the way back somewhere since thats always the hardest part of the trip. You always see advertisements starting almost 300 miles away for that place South of the Boarder, it does'nt look so great when you drive past but they sure do advertise it...

    Road-Trip to DISNEY WITH KIDS!!!

    Here it is.. I'm driving from PA to Orlando, usually takes us about 18 hours to arrive in Orlando(straight shot, no overnight hotel stays). We have done this twice now because my wife and I both don't like flying and it's much cheaper than paying for 4 plane tickets as we have 3 children 7, 5...

    How to surprise 3 little girls with wdw trip!?

    I like the idea with the box and balloons with a card tied to it and I also think the idea with the dresses is good as well. They all have princess dresses for each( snow white, rapunzel and Aurora.) so I would just need an invitation card. Thanks for all the great ideas, that why I love these...

    How to surprise 3 little girls with wdw trip!?

    No problem momof2, yeah i guess we are in the same boat here. We always talk about our trip in front of the girls but as they call it "the trip for a year from now." I sometimes wonder if my oldest is starting to get some ideas, she is pretty smart with these kinds of things. Our countdown is at...

    How to surprise 3 little girls with wdw trip!?

    I like the postcard idea, I think that would be a good touch. I also thought about waiting until we just show up a WDW main gate but I think they would catch on after being in the car for 16 hours like our last trip. Thanks for the ideas!
